And who decided that the US are the gold standard in human trafficking? A country where the ''victims of trafficking'' are treated like criminals should get their logic straight before they tell others what to do. Their ''Trafficking In Persons Reports'' are just a way they coerce other...

In that case it's different. People can have the bad reflex of braking or swerving around an animal that is right in front of them. Someone could do it without any counscious thought; it's not the same as stopping your car in the lane to get out. I think it would be much less likely to convict...

At first I thought it was the doing of some morality group, but it seems to be payback for the site's privacy shenanigans. One more reason why escorts are a better choice than an affair...

I don't think we can call it treason. ''Treason'' implies an unquestionable authority over someone. When a colony rebels against the King, or when a soldiers betrays his army it's an act of treason. The US was an union between equals that retained much of their own agency. The federal...

Some years ago, I read a book called ''Confederates in the Attic'' about how the civil war is still very alive for the peole down south. I highly recommand it. I'll go as far as to say that the war had little to do about freeing the slaves. Even if the South had won the war they would have...

In other words, more than that 95% of potential clients are completely uninterested in 16yo girls. This is actually a good proof that clients are mostly not ''pervs''.

So what? It's not illegal for a gang member to have a drink in a bar. It really sounds like a lame excuse for some repression.

Personnellement, je ne trouve pas les criardes hystériques très attirantes. On dirait plutôt qu'elle a besoin d'un exorcisme.

So long as there is sex, you'd think people would want to hear it, even if it is only a happy story. That's how she uses the media, not the other way around. She works for one of the local Radfem abolitionist groups supporting the Swedish models. This means she not only speaks for all escorts...

It also leads to stereotypes and profiling, such as thinking a guy is an abusive pimp simply because he's waiting for her in a car. According to this, even Mr Harper is trafficked victim because there's always a car to pick him up and big guys are always staying close to him. The truth is that...

I'm curious to see if they arrested anyone apart from those Femen protesters...

Wow Tiannas, you saw 3 clients and none of them got arrested in the big crack-down?

Yes, it was also posted in the sticky thread about news articles. The police did not say they were going to do more than usual and certainly not a ''crack-down''. They said they have a new team for human trafficking, but nothing to do with the F1 or sex work in general. The only thing really...

Typical journalism, where ''crack-down'' means ''monitoring as usual''.

I love the Fact Checker. Here's another good one, although it's already been debunked a long time ago (yet politicians still use it): The bogus claim that 300,000 U.S. children are ‘at risk’ of sexual exploitation...

Here's a good review about the unreliability of trafficking ''statistics''. http://traffickingroundtable.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Issue-Paper-3-Fact-or-Fiction-What-Do-We-Really-Know-About-Human-Trafficking.pdf

C'est sur que ce n'est pas un métier à commencer trop jeune. Idéalement il faut que la personne soit expérimentée et à l'aise. Mais juste parce que quelque chose n'est pas une bonne idée, ça ne veut pas dire que ça devrait être illégal. Soyons réaliste: si l'age légal était de 25 ans (ou même...

I would add that for most clients, this is always something we think about on some level. Abolitionist think the law will ''responsibilize'' clients to the problems, but we are already hyper-aware of this. Many client will avoid providers that have the smallest details that can be interpretted...

It's just the Swedish flu. It spreads quickly but I don't think it will be terminal. In the coming decade I predict a wave of decriminalization in the infected countries.

In general, I think the best thing to do is to decrease the stigma so that they feel more confident to go get help without being judged. It's bad to have an abusive relationship, but when they are in a life that is seen as shameful and criminal, it's even more difficult for them to escape it...
